Commentary

Thanks a lot for staying tuned to Sportskeeda for this excellent game of cricket in Bengaluru between India Women and South Africa Women that the former won quite off the FINAL OVER. This is the duo of Mohul and Pragadeesh signing off; until next time, take care and see you!

Harmanpreet Kaur (Player of the Match and India captain): This is a big achievement for women's cricket. South Africa played really well today. The ball was moving well initially and our openers did not throw their wickets away. Later on, we made a few errors and did not bowl according to our plan, but luckily, things went our way. The batting camp helped us a lot - along with Smriti (Mandhana), Shafali (Verma) also contributed with the ball. I have always trusted Deepti (Sharma) and I was telling her that today as well. Credit to her as she always backs herself. I was batting well in the first game but got out. I told myself that I would not give up and not have any negative thoughts; I came in early and spent some time in the nets. I try to stay positive and fresh.

Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa Captain): I think four runs is a bit heartbreaking in the 300+ run chase but extremely proud of our performance. It was easy to go in the shell but I liked how we responded, especially, Kappie. We leaked too may runs at the death and it's very hard with the bowling options we had. India executed the yorkers better than us. We had the fastest start but the partnership brought us in the position where we were .It's a four run loss and if you look back and analayse it will be annoying. But it's a great batting performance from our group in a while. My feet are pretty sore and hopefully, I will have a good sleep if I try to switch off. Will see

Pooja Vastrakar: It was an excellent game, I think. All of us did well today and as a result, we were able to win the game. I have worked hard on my death bowling, and luckily, it paid off for me today. I have worked hard on the yorkers and it was nice to see it come off well. Arundhati bowled really well and I know that she will keep growing from here.

Amol Mazumdar (Indian Coach) - (Heartbeat) It's still beating quite faster. It's one of the moment you let go of your emotions. It's an exciting game to watch not from the dugout but for the fans. (On Pooja Vastrakar) Some amazing stuff she did in the last over. She went for runs but came back and bowled brilliantly in the last over. She has a heart of a gold. (Opting to go with Smriti Mandhana) She kept nagging me that please give me at least one over. Someone has to put the hand up in the top six to bowl an over and I am happy that she did. The only message was hold your nerves and try to mix up the pace. The message was deliveried to Pooja and she delivered for the team. (On Arundhati Reddy) She played her first ODI and credit to the hardwork she did in the bowling camp

India beat South Africa by 4 runs!

Smriti Mandhana 136 (120) | Nonkuleko Mlaba 2-51
Laura Wolvaardt 135* (135) | Pooja Vastrakar 2-54

In a game that saw four centuries, it was quite rightly a medium pacer who won it single-handedly for her team in the last over. Pooja Vastrakar bowled a fine last over to seal the deal for her team.

What immense relief it must have been for her to have done so for India and snick the game away from their opponents. South Africa had their best batter and skipper Laura Wolvaardt at the crease and it could quite easily have gone the other way, but Vastrakar kept her calm and held still.

India bowled well but they managed to leak quite a few runs towards the end, and this gave South Africa the confidence to take it right down to the wire.

Marizanne Kapp played an absolute blinder of a knock today and almost took SA over the line, as did Wolvaardt, but it seemed as if the fates had destined this win for India and written it in stone for them.

India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur will be delighted with this win, which makes it their second in a row after the thumping victory in the first WODI on Sunday.

Vastrakar does the trick for India! Wolvaardt is distraught at having missed out on hitting a six off the last delivery!

49.6 Pooja Vastrakar to Laura Wolvaardt, INDIA EDGE PAST THE NAIL-BITER! An outstanding final over from Pooja. Wolvaardt looks dejected. She fought hard like a warrior but couldn't help her team cross the finish line.Off-pace delivery on a good length outside off, Wolvaardt swings away from the body but doesn't get any contact at all. She was playing all around the ground but agonizingly for her, couldn't even get bat on ball in the final delivery

Six needed for SA to win this game, and they have their skipper and best batter on strike!

49.5 Pooja Vastrakar to Mieke di Ridder, off-pace delivery wide of off-stump, di Ridder shuffles to attempt a reverse ramp but doesn't get underneath the ball. Wolvaardt charges across and gets it to the strikers' end

Mieke de Ridder, RHB, is the new batter.

Back-to-back wickets for Vastrakar here! Six needed off two deliveries!

49.4 Pooja Vastrakar to Nondumiso Shangase, OUT! Another wicket for Pooja. The South-African dug out look stunned. Wolvaardt is away from the strike. Off-pace delivery on a good length outside off, Shangase goes too early into her shot and spoons it to Harmanpreet at cover point. The Indian skipper goes low and pouches it safely

Nondumiso Shangase, RHB, is the new batter.

VASTRAKAR HAS THE LAST LAUGH! India are back in this game! This match is proving to be a humdinger!

49.3 Pooja Vastrakar to Nadine de Klerk, OUT! More drama in this intriguing battle. de Klerk looks mighty disappointed. This is a slow delivery in the hitting arc, de Klerk tries to go downtown and doesn't get hold of it. It's a pressure catch for Arundhati and she takes it safely at long-on

Nadine de Klerk c Arundhati Reddy b Pooja Vastrakar 28 (22b 2x4 1x6)

That runs away to the fence! De Klerk is looking towards the umpire and seeks a no-ball!

49.2 Pooja Vastrakar to Nadine de Klerk, EDGED AND FOUR! Bowls a full toss outside off, de Klerk steps away and swings. She tries to get it in front of square but gets a thick outside edge. The ball flies to the left of short third for a boundary

49.1 Pooja Vastrakar to Laura Wolvaardt, low full toss angling back, heaved down to deep mid-wicket for a single

Oh my word! How this game has turned on its head. Reddy bowled a fine over but conceded a six off the last delivery. SA now need eleven runs off the last over!
